You know, we started school in the middle of August, but I was sort of in denial. I was pretending that we were just playing at school, just a little molecular biology for fun. Oh, a smidge of prealgebra just to fend off boredom. The charges weren't a bit tricked-they know all about school during Christmas-just to make it easier to wait for Santa, and school during summer-just so you won't get too sunburned outdoors. These tricks up my sleeve are really just for me. I just didn't want to admit that the tardy bell had rung and school was in session in overripe August. But now, it is after Labor Day, and along with putting away my white shoes, I'm storing away my it's-not-really-school hijinks. Welcome back to school, dear readers. How was your day? Did you learn alot? Bet you're the smartest one in the classroom! You're going to give that ol' teacher a run for money. But, come on and sit down and have a little snack: peanut butter and honey popcorn. It's sweet (like you), crunchy, salty, and it'll give you lots of energy to get your homework done. That's right-homework. But finish your popcorn first.

Money Saving Tips:

Pop your own popcorn for pennies. Put a few tablespoons in a brown paper bag, fold down the top and microwave-then stand there and listen. Here's a link to the complete instructions. After School Peanut Butter and Honey Popcorn

Place popcorn in a large bowl. In a small saucepan, combine sugar and honey. Bring to a rolling boil. Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter until smooth. Add vanilla, if using. Pour peanut butter syrup over popcorn. Stir and serve. (You can place the popped popcorn in a large paper bag, then pour over the syrup and shake.)

This looks so yummy. The funny thing at our house, is the only one of us who actually goes to school, doesn't care for peanut butter. She accidently ate all natural peanut butter a couple of years ago and now she won't touch the stuff. =D But for the rest of us, this looks delicious!

Prudelicious, well it's Friday, the only day my girlfriend let's me use the computer. You are so right about school. The kids are always asking questions and wanting things. We are very happy to have them out of the house. The problem is, we have 3 in college!! Like any equation, 3 + college = no $$$. There is no money for peanut butter or popcorn!! What do we do?I look forward to your next recipe with beans and rice ;)Have a great weekend.....

Erin!! Love, love this one! My Mom use to make this for us all the time. Minus the sugar. It was a real treat as you know when I was young our Mom NEVER gave us sugar. I still make it from time to time, and yes, I sneak in just a little sugar!
